Server set-up and Associated Details:

Typical SERVER SET-UP

Range of SERVICEs, and INSTALLATION HOW-To's

All these services are based on a Debian base install using the current stable Debian Sarge, unless specifically stated otherwise. Similiarly, all these services are installed from Debian Packages from the Stable Repository using APT, unless specifically stated otherwise. It may be the case that the order of installation, or sequence of installing various packages may change, however APT & Debian Packages will take care of *any* dependencies.

A Service is typically one which typically requires ROOT permission to install, runs as a Special User on the server, starts up at boot time, and provides a key base service, with which applications run on top of.

Typical VHOSTS

VHOSTS - Virtual Hosts, are typically Web addresses which apache handles and serves out. Virtual Hosts require a DNS entry pointing to an IP Address where Apache is located. See the example of setting up these VHOSTS in Apache.
